TO ALL WHOM 1T MAY GONGERNz- Be it known that I, J. O.ALTICK, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Construction of Grape or other Arbors,`an d do hereby declare'that .thefollowing isa-full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked" thereon, making a part of this specilication.

My invention consists-in the application and construction of metallic casting, so cast as to suit the form of' the grape arbor, and-conneeththe vertical posts and top 'rails withoutbending the timber, and at the same time forming a neat and economical ornament.

In'the annexed drawings, B B represent the vertical posts of o. grapeor other arbor, having the ordinary slats, C, running at suitable distances apart, horizontally,.at the sides and top. E E represent the stays or scantling at the top of thc arbor', and upon which the slats C at the top are also nailed. Connecting the .posts B and scantling E are the metallic castings A.A These castings may be either plain, as shown in Figures l and 2, er may be ornamented, as represented in Figure` 3. Each casting is east to suit thc curve at the top of the arbor, and hasn. cup,'bl Z1, in each end for the insertion of post B and stay E. At a point, about the centre of the curved back of the casting, are formed cars, with suitable openings to connect the casting to the slot, as shown in ig. 1. p

This invention obviates the necessity of bending the timber to form the' top of the arbor in a symmetrical shape', and gives the arbor a neat 'appearai'icev Having thus fully described my nvent-ion,\vl1at claim as new, and desire to-secure by Letters Patent, is The metallic casting A, constructed substantially as described, and used for the purposes herein set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have' hereunto set my hond and seal this eleventh day of December, 1866. i JAMES O. ALTICK.
